Description
Adds binary-compatible methods for setting absolute time in TestControl:
setTime(targetTime)
: Sets clock to specified absolute timeadvanceTo(targetTime)
: Alias for setTime with descriptive nameBoth methods fail with
IllegalArgumentException
if target time is before current time.Fixes the need for absolute time setting in TestControl, complementing the existing incremental
advance()
methods.Why This Approach
This addresses the binary compatibility concerns raised in #4506 by adding new methods instead of modifying existing method signatures. Provides the same functionality as the
clockStart
parameter approach but maintains backward compatibility.Refs #3309
